On September 25, Real Style had the opportunity to attend the Cashmere 18 Crystal Ball Fashion Show at Arcadian Loft in Toronto. This year marked the 15th anniversary of the show, which supports breast cancer awareness and also features a runway with Canadian designers. For 2018, emerging design talents like Oscar Mendoza, Candace Daniela, Fesvedy and Mani Jassal brought their creations to the catwalk. The event featured intricate, eveningwear-like designs that were exclusively made from Cashmere bathroom tissue.  

Yesterday, the Spring/Summer 2019 season of Toronto Fashion Week officially kicked off in the city’s Yorkville area, and once again featured the return of Canadian designers to the local runways. Real Style was seated front and centre in the front rows of the shows, and had a chance to see the latest and greatest from homegrown design talents. Here’s our roundup of Day 1 at TFW, which featured everyone from established names such as Mikhael Kale to rising stars like Mani Jassal.  

We spoke to Canadian designer Mani Jassal about bringing her cultural influences into her work, her fabrics of choice and her breakout into the Los Angeles fashion scene. Read on to learn more about this rising design talent, and her sartorial journey so far.
